Adam Weiner is Recipient of Tim Samaras Memorial Scholarship in Research Meteorology
The Tim Samaras Memorial Scholarship in Research Meteorology was created to commemorate Tim Samaras, a world-famous engineer, inventor, and tornado researcher. His ground-breaking research greatly advanced the state of tornado science and will ultimately help save lives through more accurate and timely warnings. Adam Weiner is the first student from Millersville University to be awarded this scholarship, which includes an academic stipend for his final year of undergraduate study and partial funding to attend the 2019 Severe Storms and Doppler Radar Conference in Ankeny, Iowa. This conference encompasses his primary interests in research meteorology and will help him prepare for his Ernest Hollings summer internship at the National Weather Service in Raleigh, NC, where he will be analyzing Doppler radar data to classify storms that produce tornadoes in North Carolina. The scholarship will be presented to Adam at the Conference by the Central Iowa Chapter of the National Weather Association for sponsoring this opportunity.
